[QUOTE="BrandonA, post: 108378, member: 5944"] Thanks for your answers. As for where I am in Northern Cal, its right around the Sacramento area. As for my special hunts it's been at Grizzly Island for spike hunts which I was able to stalk within 50 yards of the elk using proper wind and the high cattails as cover with my .308 with some hand loaded 165 grain Nosler's. Oh ya, my Idaho ranch is in whitetail country on the Nez Perce reservation right next to the Flying B ranch (yes I am part indian lol, but I don't follow my hertiage much since im cali born) But yes, I'm mainly looking to add a new gun for myself since I'm only 23, I figure I will end up buying both guns but for now I'm just torn between which I want to buy first. I might just go with the .300 RUM for now, because I'm not a real big fan of the guns remington makes the 7mm RUM available in looks wise (not a huge fan of their XCR look or the CDL/BDL wood stocks).. I've also been toying with the idea of buying another gun, and having it re-chambered to the 7mm RUM just not sure what that would run or if i have a quality gun smith in the area that could handle it, but if I was what chamber would you suggest I buy, a 7mm mag? .270? Or should I just wait on the 7mm and hope they offer it in other models or other manufacturers will start putting this round in their gun. Just looking for opinons helps me finally making up my mind a whole lot easier I hope [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
